EZ RSS

This is a script that takes an MP4 file and turns it into two RSS feeds and a simple HTML file.

Title and description are added to the file metadata.

Files are in order that you ran the script. So, if you run the script on a file more than once, it will change the publish date which may cause chaos. This could be improved but keeping it simple for now.

Usage

This program requires ffmpeg and exiftool to be installed. It works under Linux and MacOS.

Navigate to directory in the shell. Copy env.example to .env and modify it as needed. shell.

cp env.example .env

Create a "public_html" directory, or change .env to point to where you want the files dumped.

Somewhere on your filesystem you should have an .mp4 file. The filename should be: whatever1.mp4 where whatever can be anything, and 1 is the episode number. Your file will be copied to the new location.

./publish.sh some_mp4_file_somewhere1.mp4 "Here is a description of this episode"
